Thanks for your effort and please cooperate -- I have some have
half-baked patches for the driver to let it pass native codes for the raw
mode as appropriate.

This is definitely a typo -- 0x12 is a Set Mode command (mode: 1, key
group: 2; a repeat register number follows). The definitions in lk201.h
have been verified to be correct.

Strange -- these work for me.

I have an LK201 and the current code was tested almost exclusively with
it.
